Profil

My research is focusing on snow cover analysis with remote sensing, hydrological modeling and in situ observations. One topic of my Ph.D. project is the integration of remotely sensed and ground-based snow data, which shows the capability for developing more accurate and cloud-free areal snow datasets. The improved snow records are utilized to validate and calibrate the snow simulations of our hydrological model TRAIN with data assimilation. My research also concerns the snow processes in mountain regions. Meteorological monitoring and time-lapse photography are applied to study the snow accumulation, melt and interception processes in montane forest environments, which can contribute to improving the snow modules of our hydrological model.
